No. 10 Penn State will try and get back to its winning ways today when Indiana visits Beaver Stadium. The Big Ten East matchup marks the 26th meeting between the two schools and 16th consecutive matchup dating back to 2007. The Lions are a double-digit favorite for the sixth time this season.

“The best way to move on is to focus on the next opponent, learn from it, which we did on Saturday night, which we did on all day Sunday,” head coach James Franklin said. The Lions lost to Ohio State 20-12 last weekend.

“But then, it’s time to move on to the next opponent, learn the lessons from the game, make the corrections, and then pour all of our energy into finding a way to get a win against Indiana and playing well, so we can build that confidence and take it for the rest of the season.”
